“Our main goal for the Café is to create a space for music supervisors and up-and-coming Canadian music talent to meet, discover and collaborate,” said Michael Perlmutter, Supervisor at instinct entertainment and curator of the Canadian Music Café. “We have the largest contingent of supervisors we’ve had in the Café’s 8-year existence who will bring a wealth of experience to this year’s event.”

New this year, the Café has partnered with Entertainment One to offer industry attendees a very special “Song-to-Scene” experience. Each Café artist will play one of his or her songs live along with a scene from a known film. This unique opportunity will demonstrate how the Café’s artists can enhance emotion and storytelling through their music and makes the Café a must-attend event for film industry professionals.
